In the statement of their labor, it set forth that some four hundred and sixty cases were acted apon. The frauds in the investigation of which they ergaged caused a loss to the oltv of at least twenty millions. Mavor Hall Detng arraignea, appeared in person and said he was ready to offer bail. He waived all irregularities com mi ted by the grand jury, ana put in a general denial, asking that the trial be set at the earliest day possible. The grand jury was discharged. The Judge then fixed the trial ot Mayor Hall tor next Monday week.. His bail was three thousand dollars. ' His brother-in-law. Edward Barnes, became his security. Among the indictments were some against Tweed, and one against Peter B. Sweeny. In each case against Tweed bail was. accented in fourteen thousand dollars. Sweeny's bail is ten thousand dollars. Five indictments were preferred against Hall. They are for misdemeanor, charging the accused with neglect of duty in connection with auditing claims against the oity. Judge O. Jf. Daly will sit on tne trial of Mayor Hall. JtSail for JNatnaniel Sanaa on tne maiot- ment found against him was given in ten thousand dollars. There are five indictments against Connolly. Of the five new indictments against Tweed, two charge him with forgery in the third degree ; one with. grand larceny, and one with larceny. The greatest excitement was created around the City Hall to-day, crowing ont of the notion of the anti-ring grand jury. An immense throng gathered id the court-room, to be present at the coming in of the jury. Mayor Hall arrived shortly before the opening of the court: When the grand jury handed in the indictments, one of their number read an address, in whioh it was stated that they failed to find indictments against many persons implicated in frauds, because the existing laws, as explained by their legal advisers, do not provide punisnment. Their investigations have been necessarily slow and. tedious, for the plots of the conspirators were carefully and cunningly devised and executed. In the course of their labors other public frauds have been brought to notice, which they were unable to investigate. They trust that succeeding grand juries will bring them to light perjury, forgery and similar crimes, by means of which the treasury was robbed and the city disgraced. . SPEECH OF MAYOR HALL. Ia the Mayor's address to the court, Judge Bedford presiding, he said : "As is announoed that your nonor leaves the city to obtain relaxation from ardu ous labors, and as I desire an immediate trial, and the other Judge of tnis court ought not, from social reasons, te act in any case of mine, I suggest that any one of the ex officio justices of this court, to whom such reasons cannot apply, be sub stituted.". Thereupon Judge C. P.

It ia reported in executive Quarters that our Government is willine to abide by the result of the tribunal of Arbitrators in all matters submitted to their determination, and will expect a corresponding degree of good faith on the part of the British Government; . . ; AMNESTY IN THJB SENATE. Some Southern Senators, friends of amnesty, express themselves confident of the paasage of the Honse amnesty bill, now lying on the Senate table. While they antioipate that Senator Sumner will again effer his oivil rights amendment, they think there will be found in the Senate aeafEeieat number either to vote out the amendment as not germane to the bill, or to defeat it by a direct party vote. Having made their record ou that question, which was carried by the casting vote of the Vice President, they say its further consideration is useless, as the amnesty bill, which requires a two-thirds vote, cannot be passed with such an incumbrance. Sumner's amendment out of the way, the bill doubtless can secure the required nnmsnr of votes to pass it. The friends of amnesty are in high spirits at the prospect of success. , MEETING OF THE BAR. . At a meeting of the Bar of the Supreme Court, held in respect to the memory ot H. H.

The low barometer in Alabama will probably move east and then northwest ward,- with increasing southeast winds ana rain by Monday morning from norma to Aortn Carolina, xne tailing barometer and threatening weather will extend over the Middle and Eastern States, with rain in western Pennsyl vania and New York. The small area of rising barometer will extend on Monday eastward over Illinois, Michigan and Indiana, followed by a fallinc barometer. southerly winds and tnreatening weather, to the westward of those States. Brisk northeast winds will probably prevail from northern Florida westward, and southeast winds from South Carolina southward. Archbishop Spalding, of Baltimore, reoently deceased, was born in 1813 at Montreal. His early career in the priest hood was marked by earnest devotion and self-denial. In 1843 he was ap pointed coadjutor bishop to Bishop 1 laget of the see of Uardstown and Louisville, and succeeded to the bishop- rick in 1850, remaining in it till 1804 when he was appointed Archbishop of Baltimore. His fame as an author dates from this appointment. Among the most celebrated of his works may be cited his " Miscellany," " History of the Kelormation," and Evidences of Catholicity." The zenith of his fame i reached in leod. at New Orleans, when he delivered his celebrated sermon on Faith, at the dedication of the Churoh of the Immaculate Conception. At the last Ecumenical Council he was con. spicuous as being the first ot the Ameri can Bishops to take a stand on the dog ma oi rapai intauiDiuty. ne was also present in Rome at the definition of the Immaculate Conception in 1868, and the canonization of the Japanese martyrs in Pieces oi doming, dioou, etc. were fonnd sticking to the pilot of the passen I ger train on the J.

Great eagerness is manifested for the latest news from America on the Alabama claims. Special dispatches from New York and Washington to the press here are pasted on the 'Change bulletin,' and surrounded by large orowds. Yesterday's debate in the Senate on Edmund's resolution was fully reported hr cable, together with extracts from the editorials of leading JNew xora- journals. The Time says : "It is morally certain that the attempt to setle the Alabama claims before the Geneva Board will be a failure. We must make efforts to pre vent any recrimination. If we are suc cessful, the time is possibly near when more dextrous negotiations may settle all differences." The Daily Telegraph asserts that the treaty of Washington is regarded by Americans as one of unconditional surrender and a shameful confession on the part of England. If indirect claims are allowed, such as a victor might im pose, the pretensions of the United States are intolerably absurd. The Standard and Fost are silent on the subject. London, r ebruary ll. The Observer says no answer has yet been received from Washington to Earl Granville's communication concerning the Alabama claim?, tit is expected the reply will not express a positive opinion on the ques tion of indirect damages, but will urge the point that it is to be referred to the Geneva Board of Arbitration. A marine disaster off Dungeress, in the English Channel, is reported. The steamer Electra was run into by the 'Helleran, and sunk. Captain Bruoe and seventeen persons belonging to the steamer were drowned. The damage re ceived by the ship is not stated.

It is probable that ho may abandon his contemplated ourney altogether.-Remusat, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in reply to a deputation who waited up-on him with the purpose of securing the aid of the Government in the voluntary movement to relieve France of German occupation, replied that the Government could not officially give its concur rence, because the Germans, fearing that the anticipatory payment might indicate an intention on the part of the French to take their revenge, would insist on occupying six departments for the stipulated time. Paris, February 11. Elections to fill vacant seats in the Assembly have commenced in the provinces. In Corsica, where trouble was apprehended, voting is going on quietly. There was much agitation in Rouen and other cities against the proposal made in the Assembly to tax commercial transactions.

Chxago, February 10, 18T3. A special from Springfield, Illinois, gives the following account of the Democratic caucus last night : General Mc-Cleinan was the first speaker, and he favored aiding the Liberal Republicans with the view of defeating Grant and bringing about a change in our affairs. This could not be accomplished by the Demoorats alone, and it would be the part of wisdom to accept an honorable alliance with the Liberal Republicans. Colonel Purner wanted all honest men to unite for the overthrow of Grant, whoso sole aim was to bnild op a power dangerous to liberty. Ha fair election could be held in the South or North, be cause ot tne influence brought to bear by the administration. Mr. Turner saw signs of a better day in the fact that such men as Schurz, Da vis, lrumbull and Palmer had become disgusted with the administration, and were ready to array themselves on tne side of the people. A crisis was upon us, and we must accept the situation. He had great hopes of the Cincinnati Con vention, and wished to see Illinois repre sented in it, as it was to contain the brain of the Republican Dartv. air. nincn unne, ot St. Clair, was in favor of any plan that would relieve the country from the control of Grant. His connty could be relied noon. senator KeuuicK nad no hesitation in expressing his views. He was clad to see such an assemblage of Democrats from all parts of the State, consulting about the big job before them. It could be accomplished by a united eilort, and the party deserved defeat it it neglected to embrace the square, bold Missouri policy. Judge Davis was his choice for President, but he was lor the next best Liberal Republican, if he could not have Davis. Messrs. Webb, ot Cairo, Cunningham, of Colespea. Georgia, Washburn, of Wil liamson, and Shaw, of Edgar, all expressed themselves in favor of acting with the Liberal Republicans and Labor Reform party, providing the nominations if the latter were indorsed by tne (Jincm nati Convention.

' Mr. Putnam rose to a question of privilege and said : 1 nnd the following statement in an editorial artiole in the Ohio State Journal of this morning : Here Mr. P. read an extract from the State Journal.' . I do not make a practice of taking notice of newspaper criticisms upon my official action ; bnt in this instance the personal integrity of the members of the minority of the Committee on Privileges and i-leotions has been assailed, and it is my duty to take notice of it in this plaoe. The assertion that there bad been an agreement upon the part of the com. mittee that the report should lie upon the table until Wednesday next, and made the special order for that day, is unqualifiedly false, let it originate where it may. No agreement upon that ques tion was reached in committee, and the minority of the committee persistently refused to make an agreement npon that matter, insisting that it should be deter mined bv the Senate. The statement that 1 undertook to taKO snap iudtrment npon the friends of Mr. Sayler by moving to postpone further consideration of the oase until the third Wednesday of March, because two Re publican members were absent, is equal ly false. There was a eeneral under- j standing npon this side of the Senate a week ago that this action was to do taken for the purpose of testing the reverence of Republican Senators for the decisions of their own Supreme Court; and when I made, my motion yesterday, I did not know that two Republican members were absent. I simply exercised my right, as a Senator npon this floor, and in pushing the proposition to a vote only used those means placed in my hands by the rules of parliamentary proceeding to accomplish my purpose, and to seoure justice upon this floor. ' Messrs. Leeds and Jones of Lioking also rose to a question of privilege, making in the main the same statements as Mr. Putnam. PETITIONS PRESENTED. Remonstranoess were presented against the Honse bill for the better protection of land owners by Mr. Boesel, from 52 oitizens of Auglaize county; by Mr. Parker, from 32 citizens oi Huron county, and by Mr. Hart, from 288 citizens of Portage county. Petitions were presented by Mr. Bea-vis, from 50 oitizens of Cuyahoga county, for the passage of a law to prohibit hunting on the inclosed grounds of other persons, and by Mr. Leeds, of 45 citizens of Clermont county, for the passage of Honse bill for the better protection of land owners. Mr. Murphy presented the remonstrance of 178 citizens of Hamilton, Butler county, against the passage of the Senate bill authorizing the City Council of Hamilton to fill up part of the canal basin in that city. BILLS INTRODUCED. By Mr. Brinsmode To authorize the Trustees of Bedford township, Cuyahoga county, to contract with Bedford Lodge No. 275 F.&A.

In the statement of their labor, it set forth that some four hundred and sixty cases were acted apon. The frauds in the investigation of which they ergaged caused a loss to the oltv of at least twenty millions. Mavor Hall Detng arraignea, appeared in person and said he was ready to offer bail. He waived all irregularities com mi ted by the grand jury, ana put in a general denial, asking that the trial be set at the earliest day possible. The grand jury was discharged. The Judge then fixed the trial ot Mayor Hall tor next Monday week.. His bail was three thousand dollars. ' His brother-in-law. Edward Barnes, became his security. Among the indictments were some against Tweed, and one against Peter B. Sweeny. In each case against Tweed bail was. accented in fourteen thousand dollars. Sweeny's bail is ten thousand dollars. Five indictments were preferred against Hall. They are for misdemeanor, charging the accused with neglect of duty in connection with auditing claims against the oity. Judge O. Jf. Daly will sit on tne trial of Mayor Hall. JtSail for JNatnaniel Sanaa on tne maiot- ment found against him was given in ten thousand dollars. There are five indictments against Connolly. Of the five new indictments against Tweed, two charge him with forgery in the third degree ; one with. grand larceny, and one with larceny. The greatest excitement was created around the City Hall to-day, crowing ont of the notion of the anti-ring grand jury. An immense throng gathered id the court-room, to be present at the coming in of the jury. Mayor Hall arrived shortly before the opening of the court: When the grand jury handed in the indictments, one of their number read an address, in whioh it was stated that they failed to find indictments against many persons implicated in frauds, because the existing laws, as explained by their legal advisers, do not provide punisnment. Their investigations have been necessarily slow and. tedious, for the plots of the conspirators were carefully and cunningly devised and executed. In the course of their labors other public frauds have been brought to notice, which they were unable to investigate. They trust that succeeding grand juries will bring them to light perjury, forgery and similar crimes, by means of which the treasury was robbed and the city disgraced. . SPEECH OF MAYOR HALL. Ia the Mayor's address to the court, Judge Bedford presiding, he said : "As is announoed that your nonor leaves the city to obtain relaxation from ardu ous labors, and as I desire an immediate trial, and the other Judge of tnis court ought not, from social reasons, te act in any case of mine, I suggest that any one of the ex officio justices of this court, to whom such reasons cannot apply, be sub stituted.". Thereupon Judge C. P.

Some Southern Senators, friends of amnesty, express themselves confident of the paasage of the Honse amnesty bill, now lying on the Senate table. While they antioipate that Senator Sumner will again effer his oivil rights amendment, they think there will be found in the Senate aeafEeieat number either to vote out the amendment as not germane to the bill, or to defeat it by a direct party vote. Having made their record ou that question, which was carried by the casting vote of the Vice President, they say its further consideration is useless, as the amnesty bill, which requires a two-thirds vote, cannot be passed with such an incumbrance. Sumner's amendment out of the way, the bill doubtless can secure the required nnmsnr of votes to pass it. The friends of amnesty are in high spirits at the prospect of success. , MEETING OF THE BAR. . At a meeting of the Bar of the Supreme Court, held in respect to the memory ot H. H.

Archbishop Spalding, of Baltimore, reoently deceased, was born in 1813 at Montreal. His early career in the priest hood was marked by earnest devotion and self-denial. In 1843 he was ap pointed coadjutor bishop to Bishop 1 laget of the see of Uardstown and Louisville, and succeeded to the bishop- rick in 1850, remaining in it till 1804 when he was appointed Archbishop of Baltimore. His fame as an author dates from this appointment. Among the most celebrated of his works may be cited his " Miscellany," " History of the Kelormation," and Evidences of Catholicity." The zenith of his fame i reached in leod. at New Orleans, when he delivered his celebrated sermon on Faith, at the dedication of the Churoh of the Immaculate Conception. At the last Ecumenical Council he was con. spicuous as being the first ot the Ameri can Bishops to take a stand on the dog ma oi rapai intauiDiuty. ne was also present in Rome at the definition of the Immaculate Conception in 1868, and the canonization of the Japanese martyrs in Pieces oi doming, dioou, etc. were fonnd sticking to the pilot of the passen I ger train on the J.

Great eagerness is manifested for the latest news from America on the Alabama claims. Special dispatches from New York and Washington to the press here are pasted on the 'Change bulletin,' and surrounded by large orowds. Yesterday's debate in the Senate on Edmund's resolution was fully reported hr cable, together with extracts from the editorials of leading JNew xora- journals. The Time says : "It is morally certain that the attempt to setle the Alabama claims before the Geneva Board will be a failure. We must make efforts to pre vent any recrimination. If we are suc cessful, the time is possibly near when more dextrous negotiations may settle all differences." The Daily Telegraph asserts that the treaty of Washington is regarded by Americans as one of unconditional surrender and a shameful confession on the part of England. If indirect claims are allowed, such as a victor might im pose, the pretensions of the United States are intolerably absurd. The Standard and Fost are silent on the subject. London, r ebruary ll. The Observer says no answer has yet been received from Washington to Earl Granville's communication concerning the Alabama claim?, tit is expected the reply will not express a positive opinion on the ques tion of indirect damages, but will urge the point that it is to be referred to the Geneva Board of Arbitration. A marine disaster off Dungeress, in the English Channel, is reported. The steamer Electra was run into by the 'Helleran, and sunk.

Chxago, February 10, 18T3. A special from Springfield, Illinois, gives the following account of the Democratic caucus last night : General Mc-Cleinan was the first speaker, and he favored aiding the Liberal Republicans with the view of defeating Grant and bringing about a change in our affairs. This could not be accomplished by the Demoorats alone, and it would be the part of wisdom to accept an honorable alliance with the Liberal Republicans. Colonel Purner wanted all honest men to unite for the overthrow of Grant, whoso sole aim was to bnild op a power dangerous to liberty. Ha fair election could be held in the South or North, be cause ot tne influence brought to bear by the administration. Mr. Turner saw signs of a better day in the fact that such men as Schurz, Da vis, lrumbull and Palmer had become disgusted with the administration, and were ready to array themselves on tne side of the people. A crisis was upon us, and we must accept the situation. He had great hopes of the Cincinnati Con vention, and wished to see Illinois repre sented in it, as it was to contain the brain of the Republican Dartv. air. nincn unne, ot St. Clair, was in favor of any plan that would relieve the country from the control of Grant. His connty could be relied noon. senator KeuuicK nad no hesitation in expressing his views. He was clad to see such an assemblage of Democrats from all parts of the State, consulting about the big job before them. It could be accomplished by a united eilort, and the party deserved defeat it it neglected to embrace the square, bold Missouri policy. Judge Davis was his choice for President, but he was lor the next best Liberal Republican, if he could not have Davis. Messrs. Webb, ot Cairo, Cunningham, of Colespea. Georgia, Washburn, of Wil liamson, and Shaw, of Edgar, all expressed themselves in favor of acting with the Liberal Republicans and Labor Reform party, providing the nominations if the latter were indorsed by tne (Jincm nati Convention.

' Mr. Putnam rose to a question of privilege and said : 1 nnd the following statement in an editorial artiole in the Ohio State Journal of this morning : Here Mr. P. read an extract from the State Journal.' . I do not make a practice of taking notice of newspaper criticisms upon my official action ; bnt in this instance the personal integrity of the members of the minority of the Committee on Privileges and i-leotions has been assailed, and it is my duty to take notice of it in this plaoe. The assertion that there bad been an agreement upon the part of the com. mittee that the report should lie upon the table until Wednesday next, and made the special order for that day, is unqualifiedly false, let it originate where it may. No agreement upon that ques tion was reached in committee, and the minority of the committee persistently refused to make an agreement npon that matter, insisting that it should be deter mined bv the Senate. The statement that 1 undertook to taKO snap iudtrment npon the friends of Mr. Sayler by moving to postpone further consideration of the oase until the third Wednesday of March, because two Re publican members were absent, is equal ly false. There was a eeneral under- j standing npon this side of the Senate a week ago that this action was to do taken for the purpose of testing the reverence of Republican Senators for the decisions of their own Supreme Court; and when I made, my motion yesterday, I did not know that two Republican members were absent. I simply exercised my right, as a Senator npon this floor, and in pushing the proposition to a vote only used those means placed in my hands by the rules of parliamentary proceeding to accomplish my purpose, and to seoure justice upon this floor. ' Messrs. Leeds and Jones of Lioking also rose to a question of privilege, making in the main the same statements as Mr. Putnam. PETITIONS PRESENTED.
